Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 software from Sony Media Software is an easy-to-use program, containing everything that is needed to produce professional-quality audio on a home computer. The program is deep despite its designation as a home studio product, and multiple enhancements add to its comprehensive feature list.
This includes recording from any source at 24-bit/96kHz resolution, editing and restoring audio, burning CDs, creating streaming media and converting files with lightning speed, simply by using drag-and-drop actions and other simple commands.
Updates over previous versions include the higher resolution recording, the ability to customize the user interface, burning CD directly from the application with Gracenote Music ID identification, and new restoration tools for transferring vinyl. A vocal eraser plug-in allows users to create karaoke type projects, with various presets available for removing audio from pre-recorded material.
Built right into Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 are "Show Me How" interactive tutorials that cover fifteen topics and that go way beyond the booklets and basic tutorials that other solutions provide.
